Thanks for visiting this page but i don't write here anymore. I've moved to Medium (medium.com/shaktianspace) and i am quite regular there. Only the platform has changed. Nothing else. Thanks for your not-so-precious time :)

Blasphemy

For a football fan—or should we, say football club fan to
be precise—names matter. A Man United follower won’t ever confuse Giggs with Drogba. However,
that allegiance may well be kept aside when it comes to merchandise for
cricket-loving aam janta. To them,
the stuff is just that—merchandise, nothing more. Which is actually quite a thought-provoker.
After all, football club adherents in Bombay can’t even locate
the cities their favourite clubs are based in, on a map. Whatever be the
argument, it’s amusing to come across a commuter on the Harbour Line wearing a
jacket sporting Manchester
United while carrying a Chelsea-painted satchel. Ignorance is bliss at times,
isn’t it?
